Tisa and representatives from the savings and investments policy project travelled to Brussels last November to host a seminar and present the work we are undertaking to develop a digital identity for individuals.
Many of these issues will have been discussed at Tisa’s cyber crime seminar in mid-December and it is a topic that we will be following up throughout the new year. In the meantime, advisory firms need to remain alert to the cyber threat and ensure that they are taking adequate steps to protect their business and the security of client data. Cyber crime has the potential to destroy trust and reputations overnight – and the threat is increasing all the time.
